Those who follow international politics closely know that Musk had placed a massive bet on Trump's victory in this election. He spent a staggering $11.9 crore on Trump's campaign. Musk didn’t just stop only spending money; he actively participated in the campaign as well. Trump referred him as the biggest star of the Republican Party. Some are now saying that it wasn’t Trump who won this election—rather, it was Elon Musk. After Trump's victory, Musk posted a photo on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Even after purchasing Twitter, Musk had shared this image, showing himself walking into Twitter's headquarters holding a bathroom sink. He edited the same image and reposted it, this time showing himself entering the White House holding the sink, with the same caption: “Let that sink in!”, meaning, "haven't you understood the matter?"

Why Kamala Harris lost in US election
Why did Kamala Harris lose in the US election? The answer lies in Donald Trump's first speech following his victory. He declared, "I am not going to start wars; I am going to stop the wars." This statement reflects Trump’s intention not to instigate new conflicts but to end existing ones. Overcoming various criticisms and setbacks, Trump’s opening words after securing his second presidential term have brought renewed hope not only to Americans but to people worldwide. Reasonably, it can be said that Americans, frustrated by Joe Biden's war-expansion policies over the past four years, lost faith in the Democratic candidate. Consequently, Kamala Harris's fate was sealed, and the crown of victory passed to Donald Trump. Biden's flawed policies led to clear Republican victories in the popular vote, Senate, and Congress.
Why a candidate with the most votes can lose in the US election
Citizens of the United States will vote to elect their next president on November 5. However, it is possible that the candidate who receives the most votes may not be declared the winner. The US democracy has some unique aspects that raise various questions. For a long time, the United States has portrayed its democracy as exemplary, particularly after achieving independence or removing autocratic leaders, serving as a model for countries rebuilding their democracies. Today, while Democrats embrace the idea of a multicultural democracy, Republicans are trying to revive the old white supremacy to make the country great again. As a result, the concepts of multicultural democracy and white supremacy are now at a conflicting juncture.
Attacks on Iran's oil facilities could trigger global economic shock
On October 1, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles targeting Israel; according to Israeli statements, almost all missiles, except for one or two, were destroyed in the air. Meanwhile, Iran claims that 90 per cent of their missiles successfully hit their targets. There is some truth to Iran's statement; otherwise, Israel would not have been adding the US's most advanced missile defense system, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), to its defenses. Israel's air defense system, Iron Dome, was considered impenetrable against enemy-fired missiles, rockets, or warplanes. In addition to Iron Dome, Israel has long been using the US Patriot missile system, but this was deemed insufficient, leading to the addition of THAAD.
